More serious and complex cases are dealt with in the Crown court. At Smart Criminal Defence we have years of experience of dealing with such cases and obtaining outstanding results for our clients.

We recognise the added pressure on clients whose cases are heard in the Crown court, not just because of the increased formality in this court but because of the higher penalties available to Crown court judges. In short, there is more at stake, and we are sympathetic to this fact.

For these reasons, we insist on preparing each and every Crown court case meticulously, exploring every potential avenue that may assist our clients. Also, we have very close links to London-based barristers, with whom we have worked closely for years. We will hand-pick our barristers to ensure they are a perfect match for your case as we are acutely aware of their particular skill sets. We recognise also that equally important is matching the barrister’s personality with your own. Therefore, we will arrange for you to meet your barrister early on in your case to ensure you are completely happy with your Crown court advocate.
